ON THE wAR-PATH.
The Yaqui Indians Giving Mexican Troops
Some Lively Work.

NoGALEs, December 23d.-General Guerra,
commander of the Federal forces in Sonora,
has received information from the recently
established military encampment at Bo-
nacicia that a detachment of Federal
Iroops, in command of Captain Enisco, at
tackled band of Yaquis, who were pre-
pairing to make q raid at a point called
Laguna del Puerto, early on Sunday morn
ing. After fight of over two hours, the
troops succeeded in driving Them from the
rocks, behind which they had hidden after
the first volley One Indian was killed
and another wounded. Two squaws were
captured and sent to Bonacicia.
CAJEME's SUCCESSOR.
Chico Venadero little Poisoner), the
ablest warrior OF the Yaqui tribe since the
shooting Of Cajeme, was at the head of the
band, and after being forced to retire from
the rocks, covered his retreat with con-
summate skill. The Federals followed the
Indians for several miles, and were am
bushed three times, and would have been
destroyed but for the Indians being desti-
tute Of ammunition.
Chico Venadero, it is thought will be
chosen chief of the Yaqui and Mayo tribes.
His hatred for the MeXiCans has been in
tensihed by over three years continual
warfare against them and if he IS to be
chief, long and bloody war is certain.
THE TRooFs oUT-GENERALED.
Tuesday night Captain Enisco and Lieu
tenant Olguin, with twenty-five infantry,
gave chase to party of Indians discovered
in the foothills near BoracitO, and came up
with them in rugged country about S
o'clock. The Yaquis had taken refuge be-
hind a ledge of granite. Captain EniscO
charged, but was forced to retire. He then
employed Indian tactics, deploying his
men in parties of two and three. They
spread out with the intention of concentra-
ting in q circle abopt the stronghold, but
the Indians were alert and broke through
the ederal lines amid q desultOry rifle
fire, to which they replied, wounding Lieu
tenant Olguin. The night being very dark
Captain Enisco abandoned the pursuit and
returned to Boracito.
RESULT OF THE FIGHT.
Early the following morning he set out
with a large force to take up the trail from
the battlefield. Arriving there he found
that his command had killed on the pre-
vious nights engagement one Indian and
wounded others, as several tracks of blood
were found radiating from the granite
ledge A Remington rifle and belt full OF
cartridges were found near the dead brave.
AS the command proceeded on the trail
two more dead Indians were found in a
gulch riddled with bullets, and wounded
Yaqui, further on, in attempting to escape
from the trailers, fell dead. Captain Enisco
IS in hot pursuit of the band.
